“How? You are from India? [re: internal candidate shit the bed with one question]”
“For what it’s worth. I only talk to customer service as a consumer. A heavy Filipino accent is just as hard to understand as an Indian one.”
“What's the advantage of hiring an h1b vs nonh1b for an in person position in the United States?”
“You forgot to blame China for all your problems. They are stealing from you. And India is stealing IT work. But maybe hating others is not right and the truth is different than what they tell us in TV? Maybe we can like each other as people?”
“Not if you’re a white male. Especially not if you’re a white male with nepotism. Women and’s people of color, yes.”
“What if they just wanted to move to a country that better represents them? I moved states because the culture and laws are more favorable to me and my interests and it wasn't because I was "cleansed". Give me a source that this was persecution.”
“it only works when indians are the offshore and in charge of both the onshore and offshore”
“Those are the only ones being hired in professional fields all the way down to Papa Johns. Microsoft just fired literal thousands of Americans to hire h1b indians.”
“"even the Indians" They're actually getting it much worse. Many of them are just contractors, so they're the first ones to get fired.”
“Yup extra cautious and not easy to get a job at all and so many fucking lazy people once you get in its laughable”
you're just coping at this point. and also you misread the article.
“It's not "think". My colleague and I applied for the position have the necessary qualifications and the expertise they were looking for unlike the person who was hired. It's a fact. My colleague was even better in terms of the expertise”
“no but I'm curious so if the work they do is subpar and you have to do it again it doesn't really save time no? so why would a company still hire "Indians" as you generalize them?”
“I still fix stuff when the work is done by someone from here (Non-Asians), lol. Let’s not act like skills and being competent is only limited to or trademarked by white people.”

“Maybe go to India and get some good experience. Otherwise, your ass is grass for partner bud, sorry”
“Nah im pretty sure most Americans did not know that English was a primary language in India. We have an overall lacking education of most countries, especially those that are preceived as 3rd world. The important thing is a learned something”
“That’s where a lot of American jobs are going, mainly India, Nigeria, The Philippines, Vietnam, and Mexico”
“No, there is breakdowns. You don’t even know the first thing about how race is categorized in the west, specifically america and Britain. In fact, in Britain, Asian means Indian. And in the states, there are clear categories for East Indians And yes, we’re pretty clean. Frisco Texas is heavily Indian and has million dollar mansions and A grade schools with clean wide roads and manicured lawns. Why else do you think white people complain?

“You can always be fired for cause, even in Europe. I'm just against the idea of people being let go for no reason as is currently the case in most of the US. To mitigate the problem of employers being reluctant to hire because of the absence of "employment at will" there is generally a period during which a statutory notice length and severance amount does not apply. So essentially in many European countries you are "at will" for the first year or two of employment after”
“Have you considered the gulf states. UAE, Saudi Arabia, and Bahrain all have generous offerings for foreign workers. They simply don’t have enough domestic talent nor citizens who want to work”

India is know for having strong higher education and a lot of contracts are outsourced to India. Also we read in the news that India has been making a lot of trade deals. It seems logical that it should be easy to find employment in India if you are educated.”
“outsourcing is a solid path, tons of firms in india do exactly that and the money's decent once you get going”
“Almost certain those subs are modded by Indians who benefit from the H1B and offshore pipelines”
